In this cáse the complainants filed their bill to enjoin the Attorney General and the United States Attorney from taking steps to enforce against them provisions of the fourth section of the Lever Act, on the ground, among others, of their repugnancy to the Constitution-of the United States because of their vagueness and want of constitutional standard.

Reversed.
